The biggest need for the Houston Texans this offseason is finding their franchise quarterback. But with their first selection in the upcoming NFL Draft not until pick #16, it is unlikely one of the two top-tier quarterback prospects, Florida State&#039;s Jameis Winston and Oregon&#039;s Marcus Mario2015-02-07 08:40:072/6: Toro Times- Houston Texans Draft Needs: Offensive Linehttp://torotimes.com/2015/02/06/houston-texans-draft-needs-offensive-line/
The Houston Texans had a 2014 season filled with highs and lows, and the play of their offensive line was no different.

The Baltimore Ravens are currently slated to the make the playoffs, but they arestill locked into a scrum at 9-5.

This week&#039;s Scouting the Enemy will be a little different, as the Houston Texans are governed more by star power than by a deep roster. Thus, guys like Arian Foster, DeAndre Hopkins and J.J.

The Houston Texans are in the middle of the bye week, and they are also in the middle of the pack in the NFL with a 4-5 record after dropping a 31-21 contest to the Philadelphia Eagles last week.

This Eagles game was a pivotal game for the Texans who came into the game at 4-4. If they won it they&#8217;d still have to consider themselves in the playoff race. But they lost it, taking them to 4-5 on the season and highly unlikely that they have any shot of making the playoffs.

Though the Houston Texans ultimately lost 31-21, the Texans were pretty much in the game until the final few minutes. But the Texans probably shouldn&#039;t have been in this game from the beginning.

The Texans lost in overtime to the Dallas Cowboys 20-17 on Sunday.
